A KISS OF PEACE.


Sweet, when you passed from living into death
No love word faltcred the trembling air,
No diving WHISPER husbed the sobbing breath
With which ] lnelt in mOtionlcss despair
/ ba' no right to mourn yOu Other eyes
Might watch the glory fading from your own,
And Other lands to distant Paradise
Might soohe your way, while i Bnclt on alorc.
But when the hours had passed, and all the room
Was wrapped in silence. and the steady light
From yon er lamp was all that pierced the gloom,
When masses of fresh roses red and white,
Lay rich with fragrance at your head and feet,
With one hul lying tvixt your finger tips
stood teside you for one moment, Sweet,
And stopping, kisscl you the pure, pale lips
Dear, when you Weakened did your spirit weep
Or in it, ncw-tounl wisdom understand
The piteOus love which watched that dreamess sleep,
AMI sought TO FOL ow TO the unknown land
When the clouds lifted from your patent head
And fooled you I'm light OF life divine,
Did my kiss QuiNe r er your lips soft redi
Did any heartthrob whisper 1t was mine,
II on your peacefulncss there sometimes break
sudden pity for the hopes that died.
If you grow galder that for your dear sake
A lift-Nork has been blessed AMI purifcd,-
Keep ever in your heart untouched with pain
The memory of that kiss of sanctity.
And when IN Gods own time meet again.
In holy greeting gi'c it back to me. ME-
